Together for ETERNITY!!!

When Michael and I got married we set a goal to be sealed in the Temple on our 1 year Anniversary. Waiting was the hardest part.. well so I thought.. We met and worked with our bishop in our new ward and he told us that it was defiantly an achievable goal. So then the waiting began. Not much we could do until about July- August. Well July came and we started working on the Invites and luncheon for afterwards.

August came and we scheduled the Temple for the 25^th. Then the hard part began. We couldn’t seem to get a hold of our Bishop or the Ward Clerk to get our Templerecommends. The Bishop was out of town or the Ward Clerk NEVER had his cell phone or NEVER answered his email.. We were getting Discouraged and Knew that the Adversary was working against us.

But Finally Sunday September 18^th.. less then a week until Temple Day we were able to talk to our Bishop and get the first of 2 interviews done. Now we had to wait until Wednesday to meet with the Stake President. When Wednesday came we called right at 6 to schedule our interviews. Because it was my first time going threw the Temple they wanted to schedule another appointment in a week or so to do what they called a “Special Evening”. Whatever that meant?!? But we didn't have another week. We had only 2 days. So they agreed to meet with us. Well we had never been to our stake center before so we went to a building thinking it was our stake center. We waiting for our turn and then when the member of the stake presidency came out to get us he looked out are papers an told us that only the Stake President could interview us and that he was out of town. WHAT?!?!

We told him that we called a scheduled an appointment and they never told us he was out of town. Well after further investigation, it turned out we were at the wrong building.. So after a LONG deep breath we made it to the RIGHT building. We met with the Stake President and got out Temple Recommends signed. I didn’t care if anything else went wrong after that. Michael and I were going to be sealed for TIME AND ALL ETERNITY and that’s all that matter!!

Both Friday and Saturday we WONDERFUL. And the Blessings of going to temple were overwhelming yet exciting. I’m glad that we set a goal and WE MADE IT!!!
